Kursk: Potential nuclear hazards

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Found the following:

http://www.kurskfoundation.org/Safety%20Evaluation%20pdf.pdf



Wonder if anyone could comment the reactor concept. There is a primary loop 

and steam generators. I interpret this as two loops with water (there is an 

ion-exchange system for the primary loop).



Now, on page 15 it says that the reactor is pressurized by gas (argon or 

nitrogen). -Reserve gas? I don't understand how this gas comes into the 

picture. Can anyone explain?



My personal question only,
